Profile

 

Subject was established in the year 2004 at Maraimalai Nagar Industrial Estate, Kancheepuram District by a group of committed professional entrepreneurs with wide manufacturing knowledge of over three decades. Subject is engaged in the process of refining and alloying of lead metal having a license to manufacture 1000 MTs per month.  The Company has established a State of the Art Manufacturing Plant and has taken special care to maintain the quality of each and every ingot produced using advanced testing equipments like SPECTRO.

 

Lead being a very soft and pliable metal highly resistant to corrosion makes it suitable for various uses both as the metal and as its chemical compounds in pigments, crystal glass, pipes, sheathing, batteries, weights, fishing ropes and others. With the boom in the automobile industry lead metal is being excessively used. The largest market for lead is in battery production, which accounts to approximately two thirds of the lead produced in the world.

The Company has employed persons from the Lead Industries having vast experiences of more than 25 years in the field. These people are asset to the Company and are keeping strict vigil both in manufacturing and quality of the materials.

Above all the Company has well educated eminent people on the Board of Directors who are managing the Company and are trying their best to keep the name of the Company as one of the best Company in Lead Industry to give Quality Lead and Lead Alloys.

They are committed in providing an outstanding level in terms or quality and continuous improvement to ensure that they do not fall behind the customers' requirements

Any organization dealing with subject can be assured of the highest level of professional service, whatever the nature of the relationship.


Products

Subject use pyrometallurgical refining process for refining Lead to achieve a minimum purity level of 99.97%. The refining pots have high efficiency diesel burners with digital temperature controllers and special arrangements for flu gas lines. All the emissions are treated through a dust collector and wet scrubber attached to an Induced Draft Fan along with a chimney/stack arrangement connected to a programmable logic controller. This helps them to keep up the social responsibilities towards pollution and gives them a clean working environment.

The refining process takes place in various steps of removal of impurities and other metals from Lead such as Cu, Sb, Sn, As, etc. the process is carried by addition of various fluxes at different temperatures and quantities based on the sample taken from the homogeneous initial bath.

The refining process is carried out in the molten state of lead of temperature ranging from 327ºc (Melting/fusion Point) to 650ºc (Boiling Point) performed in liquid phase, which means that the crude Lead must be melted to temperatures from 327ºC (Lead fusion point) to 650ºC (Lead boiling point).

 

Copper (Cu) is the first element to be removed with respective flux addition and almost all copper is removed as a copper sulfide (CuS) skims. Similarly other impurities are removed by addition of suitable fluxes in various stages and the skims, which are mechanically removed. At various stages a bath sample is drawn and sparked in a spectro for analysis of impurities left.

The forte is in the process to manufacture Lead Alloys like, Lead Selenium Alloy, Lead Antimony Selenium Alloy, and others, which find their use in the battery industry for grid casting in low maintenance Lead-Acid Batteries.

Subject also manufacture custom made alloys as per the specifications desired by the customer with similar care and expertise.
